9910490SheehanThis grant provides partial support for upgrading the Geophysics computer network in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado. Specific equipment to be purchased will include three Sun Ultra series workstations, a 300Gb RAID mass store system, two Mac G3 computers and two field-grade laptop computers. This upgrade will support a variety of active reserach programs in seismology, GPS geodesy and remote sensing. Specific investigations include continuing studies of the lithospheric structure beneath the U.S. Rocky Mountains which rely on computationally intensive inversions of very large (100's of Gb) PASSCAL portable seismic array data sets and continuous and campaign-style GPS investigations of current plate motions surrounding collisional zones between the Indian and Eurasian plate, subduction zones around the circum-Caribbean, and zones of active rifting in East Africa. ***

9910490希恩这笔赠款为科罗拉多大学地质科学系地球物理计算机网络的升级提供部分支持。 将购买的具体设备包括三个Sun Ultra系列工作站、一个300 Gb RAID海量存储系统、两台Mac G3计算机和两台外地级膝上型计算机。 这次升级将支持地震学、GPS大地测量和遥感方面的各种积极研究计划。 具体的调查包括对美国落基山脉下岩石圈结构的持续研究，这些研究依赖于非常大的计算密集型反演。（100 Gb）PASSCAL便携式地震阵列数据集和对印度板块和欧亚板块之间碰撞区周围的当前板块运动、环加勒比海周围的俯冲带、以及东非活跃的裂谷带***
